Why was the Continental Congress unable to fix the economic crisis after the American Revolution?

Under the Articles of Confederation, Congress had limited power over the states and could not prevent them from issuing their own paper money. States printing different currencies contributed to economic instability after the Revolution. The inability to issue a national currency was not the key problem: Congress could issue money, but it lacked the power to control the states’ currencies.
